According to acting Minister of Manpower Gan Kim Yong, there is no need for a mandatory rest day for maids.
I think the government should re-work his contract – keep him at his high pay of a million dollars a year but ensure he works weekends with no days off. There’s no need for him to take a day off, right? After all… earning so much money already, must live in a nice place, why would he need a day off?

that is pretty shocking that Gan Kim Yong has come out to put it so bluntly. He takes into account the assumption that just because all employers a qualified (after the compulsory FDW test), that all employers will be good on their word to provide rest days somehow? Hhhmmm…
